Little Mysql starter for backtrack

[drgr33n]

Hey all

Nobody probably uses mysql here but I'l post it anyway. Just a tiny script to start a mysql database at localhost on port 3306. I'm going to use it eventually in my uprated airsnarf script.

I hope to add to airsnarf a few extra options like add WEP & WPA and a option to bind two cards so users can actualy connect to the net Also hope to add things like mysql so you can be abit more advanced with the htdocs side of things.

I am still a baby when it comes to this sort of thing, I have taught myself php and a little perl for my last job on the side. But I did rob a script here and modify it so if you wana bitch slap me I deserve it.

Would anybody be intrested in this sort of thing? Or does somthing like this already exist and I'm wasting my time?

#!/bin/sh

#### Backtrack 2 Mysql Startup Script by Dr_Gr33n ####

option=6

echo "Welcome do the Dr_Gr33n's Backtrack 2 Mysql Startup Script"
#
echo "1) Start Small Server"
echo "2) Start Medium Server"
echo "3) Start Huge Server"
echo "4) Check Mysql is running"
echo "5) Stoping Mysql"
echo "0) Exit"
read option
      case $option in

              1) echo "Starting Small Server"
                 cp /etc/my-small.cnf /etc/my.cnf
                 chown -R root  .
                 chown -R mysql /var
                 chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
                 /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=root
                 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=root &
                 su
                 mysql;;
              2) echo "Starting Medium Server"
                 cp /etc/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
                 chown -R root  .
                 chown -R mysql /var
                 chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
                 /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=root
                 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=root &
                 su
                 mysql;;
              3) echo "Starting Large Server"
                 cp /etc/my-huge.cnf /etc/my.cnf
                 chown -R root  .
                 chown -R mysql /var
                 chown -R mysql /var/lib/mysql
                 /usr/bin/mysql_install_db --user=root
                 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=root &
                 su
                 mysql;;
              4) echo "Checking Mysql is running"
                 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p version
                 cd /root;;
              5) echo "Stoping Mysql Server"
                 /usr/share/mysql/mysql.server stop
                 cd /root;;
              0) echo "*** Bye ***"
                  ;;
              *) exit &;;
      esac

Just paste the above into kwrite, save it to root as somthing like mysqlstarter and chmod it to 755.

Then just type run it from shell EG:

bt ~ # mysqlstarter

If I have done anything wrong, let me know.

have fun

I don't often have use for MySQL but it is nice for this particular mission.

Excellent script Doc.

For option 5 I'm pretty sure you want "Stopping" not "Stoping" which is a geologic process to do with magma
